ROBBIE BURNS,—A few Iovers of
Burns had a pleasant time on Tues-
day night, in commemoration of the
birth of Scotland's ploughman bard.
George Thomson and his guid wife
are recent acquisitions to our popu.
Wien, but they have settled the
question as to how far genuine, open-
handed Scottish hospitality can go.
Their snug d,velling was invaded by
a number of their more intimate and
invited friends on Tuesday evening
last. The table spread would do
credit to it royal caterer. Mrs.
Thomson's rendition of Scottish mus-
ic on the piano, both as instrumen•
ballet and accompanist, was a sur-
prise and delight to a11. The usual
loyal and patriotic toasts ware given
and fitly responded to. John Alex-
ander, of the Lieu, made a capital
hit in his response to the toast of the
evening, "Robbie Burns," He oleo
gave an original poem suited to time
and piece which provoked much
merriment. 1'iret and second violins
in good hands, make fair music but
when accompanied by Sandy and the
'cello and The. Thomson on the
piano the merry dancers were delight-
ed and furnished a treat for all.
'Willie Mann was there
"He sorew'd the pipes and gait thein skirl
Till roof and rafters a' did dirt."
Our space forbids a more lengthy
report, StliE0e it to say a very pleas-
ant evening wee spent and Mr. and
Mrs, Thomson deservedly reoeived
the hearty thanks of all present. The
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and
God cavo the Queen terminated a
very agreeable evening's entertain.

There is a fraud at Lueknow who

offering to sell oonuteefeit notes. It
ie a pity that he and all who are dia.
honest enough to send him money
cannot be made to taste the joys of

Rola to convict him notwithstanding
that he is a double fraud. He might
at least be made to clear himself of
the charge of waving counterfeit notes
in hie possession.
The Great North -yeast Telegraph
company is threatened with opposition.
The Canada Gazette contains notice
of an application for a charter for the
North American Telegraph company
to carry on a general telegraph sad
telephone busmen. Perhaps the pro-
jectors mean business, but the public
need not anticipate much relief from
extortionate telegraph rates owing to
their competition. In the end they
are sure to be absorbed or amalgamat-
ed with the present monopoly. The
only hope of the public for reasonable
rates and efficient services lies in gov-
ernment
oyernment ownership of the lines on the.
English plan.
Lord Dufferin find that he has ser•
ions difficulties before him in the
governmeut of India. Lord Daffodil
is a man of tact, but whether he will
prove a suaoessfal financier is wholly
a different question. The expendi-
tures of India have been since his ac-
cession to office very large. The
whole western frontier has been modi-
fied, extensive and 'mealy works of
defence have been erected ; the rail-
way oommunicetion from the Indians
to the frontier has been improved,
and the Burmese war which has
arisen since the Afghttn ,lifficui ie+
has been dieposed of, and has added
oleo to the expense of the Govern-
ment. So that Lord Dufferin finds
himself, at the end of the fiscal year,
with a defioit of £2,000,000 sterling.
An income tax has been imposed for
the purpose of meeting the increased
expenditure ; from this tax the land-
holders have been exempt, so that
Sir Anthony Colville estimates the
inoreaeed revenue from this source
will amount to not more than .600,-
000, so that there is still a large de•
fiolt over. How the whole burden is
to be overcome does not yet appear,
and it is predicted that there will be
heard very loud complaints against
the income tax which has been im-
posed. Lord Dufferin has serious
financial difficulties before him, and
he will indeed he a fortunate man
should he succeed in completing his
administration without becoming an
unpopular viceroy.
